Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
P & J Lister Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 04931444 . The registered office is The Lakes Homecentre, Low Road, Cockermouth, Cumbria, CA13 1HH.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
2.3. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the
company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity
recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently
measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the
currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date. Goodwill is
amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be
made.
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over
their useful life as follows:
Goodwill - 0% on cost 
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 2% straight line
Motor Vehicles 20% straight line
Fixtures & Fittings 15% straight line
2.5. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.

2.6. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Current tax is recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
